[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah ok, so many people are quitting jobs but that's not a reason not to have a discussion about how to improve things at APS.

We have a big problem. Veteran teachers quitting. New teachers quitting after 4 months. Subs refusing to work at certain schools. Parents harassing and berating teachers.

Here are a few things that may help - I am sure the list is endless!

- Provide young/new teachers with the support from administration with regard to discipline 
- Consistent discipline/class structure across grades and schools
- Engage parents of misbehaving children ASAP. Most of us want to know and help
- Drastically reduce iPad time. Many kids are on YouTube once they finish assignments. Yes, they know secret sites to get to even in elementary school

This is a classic response.  Not one suggestion relating to parents! Don't you get it?  It's not the students or the administrators the teachers are having a problem with.  It's YOU.[/quote]

NP—Most parents I’ve worked with over the years have been very supportive. Student behavior issues this year are far more intense than anything I’ve dealt with. Attention issues and learning gaps are also way out of control after many students spent the last 1.5 years playing video games instead of participating in virtual learning.
[/quote]You realize, right, that virtual learning was a joke?  Kids are behind and have gaps even if they participated in every bit of virtual learning.  Tons of content either wasn't covered or was covered poorly.  You can't blame the kids or parents for that, which it sounds like you do.  [/quote]
